    Energy, Department Of
    The Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking information regarding the AC100 Deployment Demonstration for Unobligated Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) as part of its Domestic Uranium Enrichment (DUE) program. The initiative aims to establish new uranium enrichment capabilities to support defense mission requirements, particularly for tritium and naval propulsion, by deploying one to two cascades of 120-machine AC100 centrifuges at the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio. This project is critical for ensuring a domestic supply of enriched uranium, addressing the gap created by the closure of the last government-owned enrichment facility in 2013. Interested parties are encouraged to submit capability statements by February 4, 2025, to Kyle C. Krzywicki at kyle.krzywicki@nnsa.doe.gov, as the government conducts market research to gauge industry interest and capability without committing to a contract.
